Extremely happy to share that the first paper from our lab is now published! Driven by the very talented PhD student Maria Cadefau, we studied how CEBPA mutations shape transcriptional programs in AML. A thread 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mutant CEBPA promotes tolerance to inflammatory stress through deficient AP-1 activation - Nature Communications

CEBPA is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but the transcriptional impact of the AML-associated isoform remains unclear. Here, the authors show that CEBPA-mutant cells have reduced i...
